"Why would you agree to a wizards duel?" I ask Harry and Ron. "You two are out if your minds, and Harry doesn't even know what a wizards duel is," Hermione adds. "Yes I do, Ron told me," Harry says.
At 11:30 I decide that I'm going with Ron and Harry. I walk down to the common room and Hermione follows me so she must have the same idea. We run into them, and I realize Hermione is still in her pajamas. I put on jeans and a t-shirt when we left our dorm, but she must not care.
We walk out of the common room, Hermione yelling at the boys and me for going through with this. "If he hurts one of the enough I'll hurt him and it won't be pretty," I tell her. "See theres nothing to worry about," Ron says. "Fine, but I'm going back," Hermione says. She turns around to find an empty painting.
She ends up coming with us and we begin walking to the trophy room, where Malfoy said to meet. Just then we hear a small sniff, and hide, thinking its Ms. Norris the cat. Then Neville comes out and we all breathe a sigh of relief. "I was out here for hours, I couldn't remember the password," he says. "Pig snout is the password, but the Fat Lady in the portrait isn't there. Just come with us," Harry says.
We reach the trophy room to find nobody there. "Maybe Malfoy chickened out," Ron says. "I doubt it," I say, "He wouldn't do that." There is a faint voice in the distance, one to recognizable. It's Filch. We all run, only stopping when we can't hear anything except our heavy breathing.
We end up near the Charms classroom."Malfoy set you up," Hermione tells Harry. Everyone understands.
Peeves the Poltergeist, the most annoying ghost at Hogwarts is suddenly floating overhead. "First Years over here!" he yells to Filch. We run to the end of the corridor and slam into a locked door. "We're done for, this is the end," Ron says.
"Move over, Alohomora!" Hermione says, grabbing Harry's wand. The door swung open and the 5 of us ran inside. We all listen carefully to hear Peeves messing with Filch. He keeps our whereabouts secret though. Then I feel Neville tugging on my sleeve. "What, Neville," I ask. We all turn around and see what he was tugging my sleeve for.
There was a ginormous dog in front of us. Not a regular dog though. It had three heads and fangs half the size of me. I slowly back up and Hermione sees me doing this. She follows me. Harry, Ron, and Neville copy us and Harry opens the door. We all make a run for it. We run fast and far, all the way back to the common room.
"Pig snout," Harry says as we near the painting. It swings open and we all run in. Ron and Neville are white as ghosts and we all catch our breath. "That dog was guarding something, it was on a trapdoor," Hermione says.
I didnt look at the floor, but Hermione doesn't lie so she must be right. I sit on my bed, thinking about this all night.
